Selling Stuff on Facebook marketplace has been around for quite a while now and there are some restrictions in using the platform.
Some of these restrictions are that you can in no way access the Facebook marketplace if you are not up to eighteen years.
You can learn more about the restrictions of the Facebook marketplace from the Facebook official help center webpage.
